I told my wax girlies I wanted to give them a shout out.

She could have totally been self serving but told me "let's not blow your skin wide open and give u a burn, let's do this instead". Even though I was with her for only a hot minute, LOVED the girl bestie vibes! 10/10 would recommend +1 additional point for making my mean mustache go away lol Then to my front desk baddies Jordan and Lily.. ahhh to be the youthful fresh faces of EWC. I told them I've been with EWC since I was 17 and here I am an auntie at 38 lol. I poured these pretty babies some fresh tea if wisdom so they can be wealthy one day and level up. Advice I wish someone gave me! They were the best. Took care of me and my husband and started my day off right! Bestie vibes for sure! Thanks girls!

Being almost eight months pregnant, getting a Brazilian required extra care and patience, as I needed to take a few breaks due to discomfort/pain. Ann was very understanding and accommodating, which made a significant difference. She also made the experience much less painful than expected. Her technique is smooth, precise, and clearly demonstrates her expertise. It's evident that she takes pride in her work and knows exactly what she's doing. In addition to her professionalism, Ann has a warm and welcoming demeanor that makes you feel comfortable right away. I was so impressed that I went ahead and booked my next two appointments with her before my due date. As someone new to San Diego, I can confidently say I've found my go-to wax specialist.

I booked Hulu and his team of massage therapists and sound healers for an off-site residential…read moreevent, and they did such a fantastic job. Everyone who left the massage/sound bath was completely zen and relaxed. Hulu does such a great job at creating a healing wellness experience and he has such an interesting background with sound and vibration to share. His therapists were so grounded, kind and welcoming to our residents here. Adriana gave me a mini-massage that completely altered how I felt, and helped with lots of stress that I have been storing in my shoulders. She reminded me of how badly I needed that kind of care. I would love to book them for a private event again and I definitely will make an appointment for myself at the Hidden Spa soon.

I came in for a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Eduardo today. Damaris checked me in and was…read morevery kind. Eduardo is extremely professional and he did a wonderful job of easing my back tension, and he also made sure to stretch my creaky & stiff joints. I left feeling so relaxed and peaceful afterward so much so that I made another appointment for next month. The space is welcoming and cozy. I enjoyed the decor in the Egypt room as well. The massage bed was comfortable & I appreciated the a/c when it got a little stuffy in the room. This was a lovely experience & I'm only sorry that I didn't check this place out sooner!! Book a service, you'll be so glad you did. Peace. Street parking. Bathrooms available.

Last Friday was my first time at this location of Therapy Day Spa, and my first time having a…read morefacial at any of the locations. I like that I was able to schedule a facial for 5:30. Lots of places don't have time slots that work for 9-5ers like myself. Anyway, parking can be a bit challenging in that area near the beach, but I found a spot close by. I was warmly greeted at the door. The lobby area has a large wall of products for sale. Also, there was cute artsy jewelry to look through. There is also a relaxing lounge to wait in, but I didn't have to wait at all. They were ready for me, even though I was a few minutes early. I don't remember the name of the person who gave me the facial, but she was great. She asked me a few questions about my skin. She also made some simple conversation in the beginning, but then was quiet so I could relax. I really liked the different masks and products they used. I felt like my skin was soft and hydrated at the end. The stuff smelled great too! I also like that I didn't feel pressured to get additional treatments or to buy anything in the end. The only thing that was a bit disappointing is that from the questions asked, I didn't really feel like they reviewed that questionnaire that you fill out before I come in. Maybe they did, but forgot some things. Regardless, it did not take away from my experience

I did not want to have to write this. I've been a loyal client of Therapy since 2014 and was…read moreunderstanding when prices went up a few times, especially since everything else has gotten more expensive. I believed the new owners were using the extra funds to upgrade the spa, buy new equipment and pay employees better, at least according to their emails. Sadly, there's been a rapid decline in the business. The spa now looks dingy and neglected, and there's a foul odor throughout. The quality of facial and massage services dropped so much due to the constant turnover that I had to stop coming altogether. I had been seeing Chelsea Bowman and the master facialist Ami Sheneman for years. Both left, and no one contacted me to let me know I wouldn't be seeing them for my next appointment. I only found out when I showed up and discovered I'd be seeing someone else. The new girl Kendall, bless her heart--she tried her best, but it just wasn't the same. On top of it when I asked the girls at the desk where Chelsea and Ami went, each time they looked scared and uncomfortable answering. For anyone wondering where Ami went: I found her! She's now at Pier to Point down the street at the other end of Voltaire. I've already been there and signed up for multiple memberships. I highly recommend you do the same. It's such a shame about this spa since it's been part of the community for so long. Edit in response to the owner's comment: Thank you for your response. I want to clarify that my review was written in good faith based solely on my personal experience as a long-time client of your spa. I did not create my account with any intention of coordinating negative reviews or promoting a competitor. I have never had a Yelp account prior to this, which is why it is new. I've also never left a Google review prior to this either. My intention was to share my honest disappointment about the recent changes and lack of transparency when my preferred practitioners left, which significantly impacted my experience. I understand privacy policies, but as a loyal client, I felt it would have been more considerate to inform me prior to my appointment that my practitioners would no longer be there, enabling me to make the decision if I wanted to see someone new or not. This would have allowed me to cancel, so I could continue my services with the professionals I had established trust with. I stand by my original review and hope future communication with clients will be handled with greater openness and respect. Thank you.

Elisha is THE BEST Esti in all of San Diego! I have been a long time client of hers and I stopped…read moregoing to her for about a year and that was the worst decision I made! I started working at a spa during that time so I thought to get my facials done there to enjoy the perks (which are nice) but there was absolutely no comparison to Elisha and skincare products she carries. I made it a priority to get my skincare regimen back up to speed this year and asked her if she'd take me back. She gladly took me in that week and my skin looks and feels incredible! I'm so happy with the results and I won't ever leave her again. I have scarring from teenage acne and she's the only esti who's been able to combat it! Elisha is very thorough with extractions and removing blemishes, which I LOVE; yet, her approach to healthy skin is to focus on building the new skin instead of just washing your face and getting you out in one hour. I know I'm a client that usually takes her almost 2 hours to work with but she doesn't rush through your appointment and really gets all the gunk out! I signed up with her annual membership plan so that I can take advantage of the cool perks like getting a spray tan with my purchase, but more so to take accountability in staying on top of my facials. If you don't believe me, here's a picture after just two treatments about 3-4 weeks apart. My skin continues to feel epic and I'm actually enjoying my skincare routine mornings and nights. So fresh and so clean! I'm currently on a regimen using both Image and Osmosis products. Tell her Barbara referred you and you will fall in love (and maybe asleep) with her facials! Five star quality service - hands down!!!

I went in to get a facial with Elisha a few weeks ago, and she was great! She's super nice and…read moreattentive, and makes sure to ask you about your current skin care routine and problems or concerns you have, to tailor the facial to your specific needs. The room is super cute and cozy, made me feel very relaxed. She also put my name up on her little welcome sign, which was a super cute addition to my appointment. Definitely recommend!!
